“Finding a care giver”

Patty S.
10/4/24

I did find a caregiver. But, I thought the site was difficult to navigate. Using the site for the first time was very challenging. I also think it is quite expensive although I didn't know how to find a caregiver any other way besides going through a company and that way you don't always get quality people. So maybe paying a bit more will be worth it in the end. I am hopeful.

“Charged for Service that did not occur”

Kristina S.
10/14/24

I sent a request for pet sitting, however the provider could not accommodate the request, care.com still charged me. There is no phone number and they make it difficult to connect to discuss issues, you email and wait for a response. Horrible customer care

To promote safe hiring, we encourage our members to communicate onsite as much as possible, and we keep contact information private in the initial messaging. When you're ready for a phone or video interview, simply ask the caregiver to resend their information, and it will be visible at that point. If you would like assistance with this or anything else, please just reach out to us via our Help Center link at https://help.care.com/s/contactus or Facebook Messenger.

I don't love Care.com. First of all, it's a large expense just to be a member to receive services from others. The cost of one month membership is a whole third of what I'm going to pay for a provider! Plus, I used to offer my services on Care.com, and it won't let me use that same account or email to now be seeking services, so I had to sign up separately with a different email address. Finally, I have posted two jobs so far, and the experience of the questions asked by the platform and how to reach out to providers has not been consistent. It is really confusing. Editing a job is also not smooth — in the app, it's very try glitchy, and also I can't change the method of payment for pet-sitting jobs. So now I am going to pay in cash even though I had been hoping to pay through the app so I could get a receipt. And I don't want to sign up for the premium payment options because a) it costs an additional membership fee, and b) I won't be using services enough for it to make sense.

I did find a lovely provider, though. That's the only positive here.

Reason I chose this business:

Not great. The only positive is that I did find a provider, but I will not use this platform again.

Erin stayed overnights at our house to pet sit for our large dog and our two medicated cats. She was very responsive to our texts and loving with the boys. We also came back to a very neat and tidy home. Will definitely be continuing to book with Erin next time we go out of town.
